<p>Well, you know, this is a guy who did not bother to learn the meaning of one word when he was in school (I don't think he has a college degree, does he?). The word is hypocrisy. Prior to, during, and after the oxycontin scandal, he was saying that pill poppers and other druggies are faking it when they claim their addiction is a "disease." And he was advocating a minimum tolerance approach to enforcement. He did not want taxpayer money spent on rehab because he did not believe it…</p>
<p>Well, you know, this is a guy who did not bother to learn the meaning of one word when he was in school (I don't think he has a college degree, does he?). The word is hypocrisy. Prior to, during, and after the oxycontin scandal, he was saying that pill poppers and other druggies are faking it when they claim their addiction is a "disease." And he was advocating a minimum tolerance approach to enforcement. He did not want taxpayer money spent on rehab because he did not believe it worked. He wanted long, hard, maximum sentences for minimum quantities of everything that would get you high or stoned. Then it turned out he had a opioid pain killer habit that actually had him sending his Cuban domestic to different doctors around town and different pharmacies to obtain sufficient quantities of oxycontin to keep it going. When he got caught he used his money and influence to avoid jail or prison time. This means, yes, Virginia, Lush Rambo is a thoroughgoing phony.</p>

<p>Considering Clint's Superbowl turn, is it possible he is an old-style Republican and inserted a poison pill into the convention intentionally? That is, he was mocking just what Tea Party types think of Obama, e.g. that he would actually use the expression, "Go fuck yourself!" When they cut from his implied use of the phrase to Ann, she looked dismayed and astonished. She probably was wondering, "do my grandchildren know what he means?

<p>As a liberal, I'm of the opinion that Clint Eastwood did a great job. In fact, I would go so far as to say he did a better job than was either expected, or wanted. Let's face it folks. Eastwood is an entertainer. He plays the "tough guy" role. A fantasy role in his movies from the Spaghetti Westerns, to Dirty Harry, to old an old man with an M-1 rifle on his lawn in Grand Torino.

And, bear in mind, it's <strong><em>fantasy!</em> </strong>The very type of fantasy his audience laps up like a kitten at a bowl of milk.</p>
<p>Now, if you're an entertainer, you're going to play to your audience. Let's say your audience is a group of 7 years olds at a birthday party (not unlike the intellectual level of the RNC delegates). Are you <em>really </em>going to hire Allen Ginsburg to do a reading of "Howl" for them? Of course not. You're going to hire "Chuckles the Clown" and "Zippy The Wonder Pony."</p>
<p>The RNC got Chuckles and Zippy in one package. What I find hilarious is that Zippy upstaged the birthday boy. Everyone remembers Zippy's routine. No one remembers what the birthday boy had to say.</p> Rush Limbaugh became Lush Ram…tag:atheistnexus.org,2012-09-01:2182797:Comment:20427822012-09-01T22:59:47.006ZJames M.

<p>Rush Limbaugh became Lush Rambo in my lexicon. The first name is awkward because oxycontin doesn't affect you like alcohol, but Rambo has come to suggest wild lashing out. I like to switch the first letters of names and see if I can find something appropriate.</p>

<p>You waste time sitting there listening to all of the b.s. politicians spout. Why not watch something good or read a book, then catch the highlights of the convention on the news?</p>
